Albatron ATI RADEON HD 4770 Video Card Review
PCShopTalk posted a review on the Albatron ATI RADEON HD 4770 Video Card

In this review I will test the Albatron RADEON HD 4770, which is a middle class video card with ATI GPU and will compare it in both synthetic and games benchmarks to see how this card stands overall. Will it be able to dethrone the 4830 which was the best price/performance card for quite a while?

BlueAnt Q1 Voice Controlled Bluetooth Headset Review
Maximum CPU has posted it's review of the BlueAnt Q1 voice controlled Bluetooth headset

A couple months ago, I reviewed BlueAnt's V1 voice controlled Bluetooth headset and while the hardware end of the V1 was good, I found the voice interface to be rather useless. Today we will be taking a look at BlueAnt's newest voice controlled headset, the Q1. While the specs are fairly similar to the V1, the Q1 sports a new look, a couple new features, and hopefully a much improved voice control interface.

Zotac GeForce GTX 275 AMP! Review
ocaholic.ch posted a review on the Zotac GeForce GTX 275 AMP! video card

With the GeForce GTX 275 AMP! Zotac presents a graphic card which is based on nVidias GT200 graphic chip. Zotac overworked the GTX 275s power design. Therefore the card is now provided with a seven phase power design. This is what allows Zotac to clock the GPU up to 702 MHz instead of 633 MHz wich is the standard clock. Also the memory is overclocked to 1260 MHz instead of 1130 MHz.

Cavalry Storage Pelican 64GB External SSD Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new Cavalry Storage Pelican 64GB External SSD

SSDs seem to be all the rage these days and it seems that every manufacturer wants to get in on the action. Cavalry Storage joins the likes of OCZ, Patriot and Corsair with their release of a lineup of SSD drives that promise great performance. Where Cavalry differs from usual SSD mentality is that they are gearing their Pelican series towards people on the go with compatibility for both SATA and USB interfaces. Can it work as promised?

Super Talent Pico-E 8GB USB Flash Drive Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Super Talent Pico-E 8GB USB Flash Drive

The Super Talent Pico-E 8GB flash drive brings with it reliability, speed, and portability. The Super Talent Pico-E 8GB flash drive features a small size and a protective plug slide. The Super Talent Pico-E 8GB drive is enclosed in a chrome case for catchy looks with a small lanyard for attaching to keys or other means for carrying the drive. The remarkable size in relation to capacity makes the Pico-E a drive that can appeal to many people, but how the performance matches up with the size will really determine how impressive this drive will be.

Thermaltake V9 Black Edition Case Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Thermaltake V9 Black Edition Case

The Thermaltake V9 Black Edition was designed to be quite a windstorm, but also to be very quiet because no one wants the sound of a box fan sitting next to them. You'll immediately notice the huge 230mm intake fan located on the left side panel. This is positioned to blow cool air directly onto the entire motherboard area, including CPU, memory, graphics, etc. This will be especially crucial when building a high performance dual graphics rig, and/or overclocking your components. Add to this the same huge 230mm exhaust fan located directly above the motherboard/CPU area, but instead this time it's on top of the chassis. This is designed to suck the hot air being expelled from the red hot CPU/Chipset/Memory area of the motherboard. So cool air in the side, it gets hot and exhausts right out the top. A potent combination of airflow it is and a must for today's ultra fast gaming rigs.

NZXT PANZERBOX Review
OCC has published a new review on the NZXT PANZERBOX

The NZXT Panzerbox offers a wide arrange of features and holds its own in cooling. For a small ATX form factor case, the Panzerbox excels in ease of use, dominant features and pleasing looks. From top to bottom, the case is coated all back, and made from pure aluminum. It accommodates up to three fans, two being massive 190mm fans, sports a removable motherboard tray and is the perfect size for anyone looking to buy a mid to high end case, HTPC, and especially the LAN gamer. One of the best parts, is its weight. NZXT states its 50% lighter than most ATX form factor cases and surely lives up to its word. I did run across some small problems, but nothing too diminishing. One problem was the material used for the power button and reset button. The case is almost to perfect with grade A quality aluminum, but it seems NZXT slacked off a bit on the two most used buttons. I was also not too fond of the positioning of the power supply during installation. With such a small case, I can understand there needs to be some cable management, so I'm sure any average Joe can spend a good 15 minutes routing their cables to improve this slight flaw. The last issue I have with the case is the noise. With such high rated CFM fans, noise is expected, yet tolerant.

Wacom Intuos4 Professional Pen Tablet Review
Techgage posted look at Wacom's latest pen tablet, the Intuos4.

Though the Intuos3 was a masterpiece of a tablet, the Intuos4 improves things all-around, such as with a higher level of sensitivity, LED-labeled quick-keys, removable USB cable, improved design and more.

MSI GeForce GTX 295 Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the MSI GeForce GTX 295 Graphics Card

Since the launch of the GTX 295 ATI has done little to combat the card and while the HD 4890 is a very good card, the price of it doesn't put it anywhere near the level that the GTX 295 is at, nor the GTX 285 for that matter.

It's been a while since we've had a look at the GTX 295 and there's been a few driver updates since then. Today we'll be seeing how it performs against some of the top single GPU cards from both NVIDIA and ATI including the HD 4890 and GTX 285.

Recycled PC: Old Computers with a New Purpose
Benchmark Review posted an article on recycling old computers

Frequently, we find that new technological breakthroughs make old hardware that was just fine seem quaint. Be it a race toward higher clock speeds, faster front side buses, multiple cores, etc, computers become disused and replaced. Green attitudes have dissuaded people from tossing out components that are, for all intents and purposes, quite harmful to the environment. Moreover, current operating systems are becoming more power hungry let alone the software that runs on them. What's interesting about these computers is that in many cases they're perfectly useable. Here at Benchmark Reviews, we'll provide our list of uses for recycled computers.

I-Rocks IR-4610 Four Port USB 2.0 Hub Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the I-Rocks IR-4610 Four Port USB 2.0 Hub

With so many gadgets using USB these days, just about everyone can benefit from a product like this. It's an inexpensive, practical, and stylish way to add an extra four USB ports to any system. The top loading port is useful for quickly attaching a flash drive or mp3 player, and the remaining three ports are spaced far enough apart that plugging in devices next to each other shouldn't result in a tight squeeze.

YUBZ Talk Bluetooth Headset Review
The TechZone has posted a review of the YUBZ Talk Bluetooth Headset

In sharp contrast to the rest of the market, Yubz is not at all interested in the fast-paced lifestyle of todays executives. Yubz is not at all interested in creating the smallest Bluetooth headset on the planet. Instead, it seems that they are much more interested in slowing down that pace and building a larger handheld Bluetooth headset. And this is where the YUBZ Talk Bluetooth comes into play.
